Busy

I've been a little busy this week.  Got all the stuff done for my sons return to school.  My daughter's supply shopping won't be attempted till the first day of school.  No lists given out early in High school.  Nope.  We got her schedule and we got the names of her teachers but no lists.  SO the entire high school will be out in force on Monday afternoon.  Wiping out the shelves of all the local stores.  I unfortunately will be right in the middle of it.  I like to get things done early so I don't have to be in the mess but the just won't let me!

I've also been busy "relaxing" with my honey.  He couldn't take a full week off because they are short handed at work so he split his last week of vacation up and combined a couple of days with his days off.  It's been nice having him home.  I think I've taken a nap every day!  Come Monday everyone will be off to work or school and I will go from busy bustling home to silence.  I'm a little sad about that.  On the other hand, my husband gets one day off during the week when the kids are in school and we use that as our "date day".  It's a day I look forward to every week.  :D  So back to school is bitter sweet.

We went to see Captain America at the theater today.  (It's my husbands birthday.)  I went in to the bathroom after the movie and the first stall I entered had a wet seat. BLECH!  Come on ladies!  Have some respect.  The next stall had no latch so it just swung back open after I entered.  Finally I found a suitable stall but it took some searching!  I don't know how people can leave a place that we all have to share so gross. 

Teaching myself to knit some socks from the toe up.  I think I like it better than the other way.  I've completed the toe and am working on the mid part of the foot now.  It will be interesting to see how working the gusset is from the other direction.  Found a site online that has some great tips.  It disturbs me how much I enjoy learning new techniques by reading or watching videos online.  SO much to learn!

My belly is full of birthday cake and I should go change into some looser pants.  CCB requested a spice cake but they had no mixes at the store.  I found a recipe online and whipped one up but was worried since I had never tried it before.  I didn't know if it was going to be like he was looking for or not.  I lucked out.  Trial run was a hit!  I need more notice for special requests!  Hee hee!

I hope you all have a great week!

Anybody out there?

Is it just me or has bloggerville been a ghost town lately. Everyone must be out enjoying their summers I guess. Not much happening around here either just a little of this and some of that.

My son has gotten the hang of using the toilet. He is no longer afraid he will be sucked "down the potty hole". Accidents are few. I can't leave it entirely up to him yet since he doesn't always allow enough time to actually get to the toilet. I remind him to go, but it's better than diapers! Now if I could only make him remember that he HAS to sit if it's #2. I've had to CATCH his business twice now! *shiver* The things you do when you love someone huh?

I pre-ordered my daughter a copy of Harry Potter #7 today. I feel like such a good mom some days. Walmart had the best price I could find with only .97 for shipping! I love Walmart. I hate Walmart....

My cat has developed allergies since we've moved to this moist state. He never fails to climb up into my lap and then sneeze a big ole snot wad on me. It looks like I could be doing battle daily to get him to take his meds. I need some chain mail.

It's Sesame Chicken for dinner tonight. It's my daughters favorite. (I'm totally getting the mother of the day award today!) It seems like no matter how much chicken I make it's just enough. I make more each time and I still feel like someone is going hungry. They gobble the stuff up!

Potty talk.

I had made the decision that when we reached the end of the package of diapers I wasn't buying anymore. Saturday we started potty training....again. We didn't have any successes on Saturday but Sunday everything turned around. He's on a streak now and I couldn't be happier. Perhaps he just needed that extra time and umpteen conversations about how he won't go down the potty hole. Keep your fingers crossed!

As for the fluff business. No. I don't work in the porn industry CHICK! I think things are gonna probably stay the same. I just can't bring myself to do it and why should I make myself uncomfortable? Perhaps one day I won't be able to control it and I'll rip a good one and my delusions and misgivings of fluffing in front of my husband will be shattered. Until then I'll keep it private.
